1 hid looked upon death lefore; I had

"1 did not My that. I believe the men to

"I will aee him to-morrow" taM Cecl. "1
think he will yield to reason. Poor child!"
He went out. and down the Main with the
ttep of a young man and I marveled at tho
toutradictory nature which could thow tho
kindnrt It had towanl aillictlon and nt tho
Mmc time coldly plan to remove n fc'low-
riTBture from the xvorld a one remove a
hud from a tree xvilh a touch of the knife.
Hut t'eci'a xvord had nlo rcmlndeil mo again
of Cortc' neeil. I tlood nt the door listen
ing until hi footstep died nxvnx and knew
lie wa pmc for the niglit. Then I pulled
nut my pure and looked at it content;
there were two gold crorn left and n few
ul. I hesitated for a little hut the nccl
of the man upstair xva greater than mine.
Drawing off my lioot po that there might lie
no tound I Mole up toftly like a thief and
indued the landing of Cortc' room. The
door xra partly open nnd I tlood before It
for n thort while half afraid to enter.
I'luiklng up heart. 1 crept in gently. The
dead girl l.iy xvith her hand riossed on her

way to tilent despair. The dog lay nsleep
in n corner. I meant to hax-c proffered the
Fold I had with me. a a loan tn Cortc but
I did not dare tn addrr him in hi grief.
So placing the coin quietly on the table In
nulla manner that xxhen demised hi head
he mul ree them I w ithdrrxv a noiselessly
n I rnme and reached mv room without At-
tracting any attention. It wax not until the
amall hour of the morning that I sought my

not the onlv ormw in the xvorld nnd Hint
there mit'lit yet lie other xvho hail reached
n deep of micry a far l-rlow that of Cortc
a hi xva Mow mine. This led me on to
consider my own position nnd I liegan to
think there wa tome mysterious power
that xva preventing me carrying out my
plan of reprisal against I) l.ntrangue. I
had come to Florence red-hot on hi track.
At our very first meeting he had xvon the
haraid and the long illness tint followed
pxxT him chance to put n distance between
us; tin n my rcHourvc diminished whilst yet
nothing xva done; Ihcn eanie the doubt
as to whether I wa justified In my action;
and finally and not least there wa In men
haunting desire to tee Anginla n I called
her tn myself once again. I was pulled by
different tiring. There xva what I railed
conscience urging me tn give up my M-hemr
of revenge; there xva the wild animal in me
telling me to go on; there wa n feeling to-
ward a woman which I had honestly nex-er
experienced before which despite my trug-
tie against it apparently hopeless folly
xrai entirely overmastering mc until I did

from it alt decided to leave Florence nt
nv and then altered my mind again xrhen
1 thought of the plot I wished to thwart.
and determined to mako a last effort to do
this and if possible to teo Angiola once
more U-fore I left. At last I went to sleep
waking very late in tho mumlng. So tound
xrn my dumber that xxhen I nxvnko I
thought at first that the event of the night
xxeru nothing mote than a dream; but they
toon forced thcmtelxv on ine in their real-
ity and the fact was rmphaiited by the tight
of the odd pault which were now my all
lying on the table. I gathered these up and
prxMeodcd In tenrch of Ceci to nak if he had
made any airangemcut for tho burial; hut
he xva nowhere to be found and aa I could
not bring myself to tee Cor to then I re-
rolveii to breakfast on fresh air a diet which
hoxvrxcr wholesome xva I found certainly
not aatitfxing. I went to thoOriccllariOnr-
dens which xx'cre nt that time the property

one found a forest nnd under the thado of
tho huge tree n more miserable being than
myself could have spent pleasant hour and
lerhap gained contentment of mind by oh-

that niter the death of II MnguHico tho
Platonic Academy moved it titling. Hut

even the unlortunatc who xvishr to rain
H-ace of mind in txlvan shade should have

nnd more strongly on me nnd I could obtain

my axrnrdiell by n hole or tn. 1 herefore in

I iiattcd tho day quiitly nnd in tho after-

of doing thi there teemed no prospect. I
had parted xvilh my cloak for money to buy
food but the last copper of that xva gone
nnd I was noxv pcnttile. For two days I
had not eaten nn thing but n morsel of
bread nnd on the morning of tho thild day
I rose desperate with hunger mid pivparcn
tn go tn any length to satisfy it. I ntc mr

At laxt it llarrd up and with a cheek hot
